Announcements

There were a few people that wanted references to Markov chains.
Here are some suggestions given by random people:
text by Feller "Introduction to Probability Theory
and its Applications" (Vol 1),
Mitzenmacher and Upfal's "Randomized Algorithms and Probabilistic
Analysis" , the book by Aldous (can be found on the web), the wikipedia entry
and the links given there.

For future scribes, here is a
sample file and
the preamble.tex file that
it uses.
Please get a first draft to Matt (mmenke with the usual mit e-mail ending) within two days of the lecture.
When using the definition environment, make sure to emphasize the term being defined.
